00:00 I am the political prisoner of a failing nation, but I will soon be free on November 5th, the
00:07 most important day in the history of our country, and we will together make America great again.
00:14 Thank you.
00:15 After sitting for five weeks through that rigged trial in lower Manhattan, which was
00:19 surrounded by vast but unnecessary numbers of New York's finest in order to keep law-abiding
00:25 MAGA patriots away, and as I watched insignificant numbers of fully funded radical left troublemakers
00:32 with brand new and gleaming professionally made signs, screaming and cursing from areas
00:38 said to be close to us and all others, I realized that reason, truth, and love of our country
00:44 is no longer a force of good and change.
00:48 These are dark days in America, but we will make America great again.
00:53 Thank you.
00:54 A very honest and respected bookkeeper called a legal expense on the tiny description line
01:00 of a ledger a legal expense.
01:03 The only thing you could have called it.
01:05 Openly paid to my lawyer, at the time a fully accredited one.
01:10 So a legal expense was called a legal expense, not a construction expense or an expense for
01:16 sheetrock or cinder block or an expense for what other people might want to call it.
01:22 No, legal expense was legal expense.
01:23 There was nothing wrong.
01:25 I was not involved in that designation, but what else would you have called it?
01:30 It was absolutely done correctly.
01:34 It was in fact a legal expense.
01:37 And that is the so-called crime that you've been reading so much about.
01:40 On top of that, I wasn't allowed by the judge to use in any form the standard reliance on
01:46 counsel defense or advice of counsel.
01:51 My lawyer at the time did virtually everything on the NDA non-disclosure agreement, which
01:56 is a very commonly used agreement, very legal.
02:00 And I assume that what he did was correct.
02:02 I did absolutely nothing wrong.
02:04 And frankly, there was nothing done wrong.
02:07 NDAs are so standard and so commonly used.
02:11 And I just say that we are going to end these witch hunts.
02:15 It has to end.
02:17 It has to end.
02:18 But think of it, you rely on a lawyer and you're allowed to do that.
02:22 And the judge wouldn't allow that as a defense.
02:25 It's a standard defense.
02:26 He wouldn't allow it.
02:27 If this can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
02:31 We have to save our country and we're going to save our country.
02:33 We're going to make America great again.
02:35 Thank you very much, everybody.
02:36 My civil rights have been totally violated with this highly political, unconstitutional
02:42 and election interfering witch hunt of a trial.
02:45 Our failing nation is being laughed at all over the world for what's happening.
02:51 But we're going to go forward and we're going to make America better than ever before.
02:54 November 5th is the most important day in the history of our country.
02:59 And we're going to get out there.
03:00 We're going to vote like never before.
03:03 And we're going to also appeal this rigged trial.
03:06 And we're going to win at the appellate level or in the appeals courts, even if we have
03:11 to go up to the United States Supreme Court.
03:13 Because everybody knew what a disgraceful sham this was.
03:17 Thank you very much.
03:18 Large scale mounting evidence that all of the unprecedented number of lawsuits brought
03:22 against me, the witch hunt, are conceived of and coordinated by the White House and
03:28 DOJ and frankly, crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country.
03:34 Such a disgrace all done illegally to help crooked Joe fight his political opponent.
03:40 That happens to be me.
03:42 But the people are wise to it.
03:44 We're going to make America great again.
03:46 November 5th is going to be the most important day in the history of our country.
03:51 That's when our country is going to turn around.
03:53 It's going to be something very, very special.
03:56 And people just can't wait.
03:57 November 5th.
03:59 Get out and vote.
